Important
You will need to download the Poll Everywhere application (app). To download the app please visit Poll Everywhere for PowerPoint on Mac for more instructions. If you have a managed Mac, you will need to contact your department or college IT support.
Step 1
Both Poll Everywhere and PowerPoint must be opened for this feature to function.
Step 2
Open PowerPoint if you have not done so as yet, and open a presentation. Right click the Poll Everywhere app and select Insert. Then select Activity.
Once you have selected Activity, your My activities dashboard will appear. It is good practice to have both the PowerPoint page and Poll Everywhere page opened side by side (as shown in the image below), so that you can see how both pages interact with each another.
Step 3
If you have existing activities made in Poll Everywhere you can select those and then select Insert slides. If you would like to create a new activity, select the New activity button (located in the upper right-hand side of the My activities dashboard.
Step 4
Once you select the Insert slides button, your activities will automatically be sent to PowerPoint. The checkered corners on each slide indicated that you are in edit mode and are known as placeholders. To present your activities you can select the Play from Start button in the upper left-hand side, or the presentation button located on your lower right-hand side.
Step 5
To present to your audience, students can join via the Web by entering your Activity Response URL (see upper left-hand side), or they can scan (using their tablets or mobile phone) the quick response (QR) code noted on the upper right-hand side.
